Hillary hints at Clinton-Obama ticket for election

Hillary Clinton was up early today, appearing on the morning television shows a day after her primary wins in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island and suggesting that she and her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, might share the Democratic ticket — with her in the No. 1 slot.

“That may be where this is headed,” Clinton said. “But of course we have to decide who is on the top of the ticket. I think the people of Ohio very clearly said it should be me.” She said Democratic voters have begun to focus on who would be the best commander-in-chief.

“I really think that now that Senator John McCain is going to be the nominee, Democratic voters have begun to take their decision very seriously, and that works to my benefit,” Clinton said on NBC’s “Today” program.

I’m sure everyone has heard about David Hernandez’s gay stripper job her held for three years. (not that there is anything wrong with that)

After his rendition of “All Coming Back to Me Now,” Simon can be heard telling the other judges to “say I liked the way you stripped it down.”

Simon cannot let things go and has to always get his 2C in.

Britney Spears has refused to attend her younger sisters alleged wedding. Sources say the singer’s pregnant 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn Spears is set to marry her 19-year-old boyfriend Casey Aldridge before their child is born.

Sources say Jamie Lynn asked Britney to be the maid of honor at her ceremony but the singer told her “hell would freeze over” before she would attend the wedding.

“When Jamie Lynn asked her, Britney laughed sarcastically down the phone. She told her hell would freeze over before she’d stand as her maid of honor then hung up on her,” said the insider.

Jon Peter Lewis called for “a little less conversation, a little more action,” on his star-making 2004 American Idol turn, and today, he’s heeding that advice. JPL is primed for a major pop breakthrough courtesy of sophomore album Break the Silence, slated to drop in May. The first single set to release on March 18th, is the title track, an assured, infectious mid-tempo cut that recalls equal parts Ben Folds, Duncan Sheik and vintage Beatles.

FOX’S deal with the owner of the “American Idol” franchise gives the network the right to continue airing the series through 2011.

Under the terms of a 2005 deal between Fox and 19 Entertainment (now owned by the Robert Sillerman-headed CKX), the network will carry the series in 2009–and if minimum ratings levels are reached, will continue with it for the following two seasons, according to an SEC filing.

Ratings have been down this year, and although unlikely, if the undisclosed minimums aren’t met, Fox apparently could move to renegotiate its terms with 19 Entertainment to continue carrying the show past next season. In any case, it appears a new deal will need to be cut if Fox opts to continue with the series past 2011.

FremantleMedia is also a party in the agreement; it receives a license fee from Fox for each hour of “Idol” broadcast each year. Fox pays the salaries of the judges and the show’s host.
